Old Method of Storing Apples.

Some of the older people in West Cork used to preserve apples as follows.

The apples would be placed in a pyramid and covered in a mixture of grass and earth from under the apple trees.  The mound was then covered with hessian cloth from sacks which had been soaked in pickle,  This kept the snails at bay.

The method was broadly similar to potato pits.

Placenames of Prince Edward County, Canada, Rossmore, Shannonville, Relict of 1820s Emigration from Durrus District, West Cork

Following the Battle of Waterloo an economic downturn coincided with the collapse of the local textile industry in Co. Cork This was exacerbated by the Cork Banking collapses of Leslies, Roches adn other Banks.  This prompted widespread emigration of small to middling Church of Ireland adn Methodist farming families with a smattering of Catholics.  Also included were labourers adn artisans.

There was much emigration to Canada in the USA an entry tax applied at that time.

Shannonville, the Shannons are a prominent family in Rossmore/Brahalish, Ireland:

MacCarthy Glas/Duna[edit]

As patrilineal descendants of the 4th Prince, but not the 5th Prince, the MacCarthys of Dunmanway, belonging to the MacCarthy Glas^[9][10][11] and MacCarthy Duna^[12][13] septs, are not technically MacCarthys Reagh. However, most historians and genealogists refer to all descendants of Donal Gott as MacCarthys Reagh, and it is the case that, should the “senior line”, descendants of the 5th Prince, fail, then the MacCarthys of Dunmanway would become the “new” Princes of Carbery.

• Teige-an-Fhorsa MacCarthy, Lord of Glean-na-Chroim
• Teige-an-Duna MacCarthy, Lord of Glean-na-Chroim – ancestor of several surviving septs, he died at the house of Timothy O’Donovan, Magistrate, O’Donovan’s Cove, Durrus c 1830.

1829.  Death of ‘The O’Driscoll’, Baltimore, West Cork.

The O’Driscolls along with the Coughlans, and the varied forms of Wholehan/Houlihan are probably descended from the original settlers to West Cork.

Denis O’Driscoll, Dunbeacon, Harpist and WILLIAM HENRY O’DRISCOLL, Esq., of Stoke, near Plymouth. He was born on the 16th of June, 1803, and, though a fine specimen of the old Irish chieftain race, he is still unmarried. The senior line of the O’Driscolls is, therefore, likely to become extinct in the British Islands, and the genealogist of the next century will probably have to look for it in the United States of America: though, according to a wild tradition in the country, there are fishermen on Cape Clear and on other islands off the Coast of Carbery, who are lineally descended from the youngest son of Sir Finghin, or Florence, of 1602. The Rev. James O’Driscoll, P.P. of Kilmichael in the County of Cork, is said to be the great-grandson of Denis O’Driscoll of Dunbeacon Castle, who is remembered by tradition for his skill in performing on the Irish harp, who was the son of Florence O’Driscoll, called the Captain Cam, who was killed at the siege of Dunboy in 1602.
